Monthly Events (from Events Manager Plugin)

[Kulturzentrum Kleinbahnhof e.V.]

I’m using following plugins:
– Newsletter Pro
– Newsletter Addons Manager and Support 1.3.7
– Newsletter – Automated Newsletters 4.8.1
– Newsletter – Events Manager Integration 1.4.1
– Newsletter – WPForms Addon 1.3.6
– Events Manager 6.6.4.4

Hi, i want to send a monthly newsletter, showing all events (from Events Manager) of the actual month.

I created a template for the newsletter. In the block “Events (from Events Manager” section “Events” i can only choose “Max Events”. I need to choose “actual month” by sending the newsletter first day of the month or “next month” by sending the newsletter days before needed month.

Is there a way to configure the newsletter plugin for my case?

I hope you can give m a hint or a solution.

best regards
Thomas

Hello Thomas,

I’m not sure I understood what you’re trying to obtain here. Do you need to pick only current month events when sending a newletter in the first days of the same month, is that right? And the same goes for “next month events” newsletter? If that is so, we don’t have such an option at the moment, I will pass this to our developers for further evaluation.

Hi Michael,

thanks for your reply. That’s exactly what we need.
Currently we send our newsletter (in MS Word format) around the 25th of each month for the coming month –> “next month events”.

Sometimes we are late an we are sending our newsletter at the beginning of a month –> “actual month events”.

What we don’t understand is why the developers implemented a limit on the number of events (max. 20) in the first place. It must not matter to the developer how many events there are, right? As already described, we have between 15 and 25 events each month. If we always have to adjust this manually, we can’t automate this newsletter in particular, and we would miss out on a valuable time saving for someone.

Furthermore, it would be useful to be able to use a variable in a text area (header, mail subject, etc.) that displays the current month for which the newsletter should be created.

For example, if we wanted to send a newsletter today:

Today is the month of April 2025.
We are sending a newsletter for May 2025 (next month events).
Then the variable should also display the month of May:
Example: Our events in “May” 2025.
The month of the events can be calculated based on the event data (date or next month events).

I like this plugin very much and i hope we can find a solution.

Hello Thomas,

sorry for this delay. We recently added some options to the Events Manager addon, however what you’re asking would require further developments, which we already planned based on your suggestions.

In the meantime, please take a look at last version and see if it has improved for your needs.

Hi, please try version 1.4.5, there is a new “next month” option. It’s a “native” filter of Events Manager, let us know if that’s what you’ve been looking for!

Thanks!

[Kulturzentrum Kleinbahnhof e.V.]

Hi Stefano,

this is exactly the option we are looking for. Thanks for your first class support!

Remarks:
In our case, one events is created over night:
startdate and starttime: 28.06.2025 08.00 pm
enddate and endtime: 29.06.2025 04:00 am

in the newsletter both dates are listet (in one event).

i printed the newsletter for month june 2025 in pdf format. how can i send the pdf to you, to show the output?

A small solution we can do is, to set the end of the event to same day 11:55 pm.

If the filter only reads the startdate of each event (and ignores the enddate), every looks 100% perfect.

greetings
Thomas

Hi, I don’t know how that specific Events Manager filter works, it simply has the name “next-month”. As far as I was able to understand, they consider an event part of a time window if that event is “active” in that period.
So an event that started yesterday and ends tomorrow is returned if I ask for the events for today.
Or, at least, when I experimented with precise starting and ending dates, that was the behaviour.

I’ll try to setup some other tests!

Hi,

you are right, one event is listet. that’s correct.

But in the description of the event. both dates are listet.
can i send a mail with a pdf or a picture to you (for explanation).?

Thomas

[Stefano]

Hi, to send files, please open a ticket from your account page, I’ll take it up personally so we can analyse you specific need.
Anyway, the date at moment the block will show always both the starting and ending dates (if not matching).

ticket is opened

[Michael]

Thanks!
